Chaves Day Trip

At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Montalegre and set off for the city of Chaves in the north of Portugal. Our journey will be by 4x4 or minibus and will take around 45 minutes.

Upon arrival, we'll visit the exterior of the medieval castle of Chaves, which currently houses a military museum and has witnessed the conflicts between Spain and Portugal.

Next, we'll visit the facades of the forts of São Francisco and São Neutel, 17th-century buildings built to defend the city from the Spanish. The following stop will be the Roman bridge over the Tâmega River, built under the orders of Trajan, with arches intact since Roman times!

Afterwards, we'll visit the Estrada Nacional 2 and its Kilometre 0, before heading to the Roman thermal baths, a significant meeting place for society. Its medicinal waters are among the warmest in Europe.

After 3 hours on the road, we'll return to Montalegre and take you back to your hotel.
